About all I can suggest is to get an xfs_metadump as soon as any new problem shows up, if it does.

Is that the correct sequence of events? -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
